While the device is charging, the touch screen may

•

not function due to an unstable power supply. If

this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the

device.

While charging, the device may heat up. This

•

is normal and should not aect your device’s

device and then from the power outlet.

Do not remove the battery before removing the

travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the

device.

To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not

memory card may damage your device or the

card.

Your device supports only the FAT le structure for •

memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with

a dierent le structure, your device will ask you to

reformat the memory card.

Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten
